Kevin McEnroe has been sober for seven years and shares his story on his Substack newsletter Serenity Side Down
He looks back on his family saga, including when he became mom Tatum O'Neal's medical proxy after her 2020 stroke. "In helping her, I started to believe I could become a better man."
McEnroe discusses his family's recovery journey and says of his mom, "The fact we're both such bad alcoholics makes us closer because she can be honest with me."
Kevin McEnroe had been in drug rehab for several months when his sister Emily called him in May 2020 about their mom, Tatum O'Neal.
"She'd had a stroke and was in a coma and might not make it," Kevin recalls. "She had overdosed again. I spent the next month fielding calls about her progress — checking if she's alive. I had to show up and be there for her. It was you need to do this, and I did."
